PREVIOUS STORY:

SPOKANE, Wash. - According to court documents Jed Zillmer was one of eight soldiers who sued the army after they were denied disability benefits following traumatic experiences in combat. Family told KHQ on Wednesday that Zillmer had been shot in the foot and ultimately experienced a partial amputation to one of his toes.

Zillmer was shot and killed on Wednesday, just about an hour after he called police saying he wanted to die from a suicide by law enforcement. Zillmer pulled off the Sullivan exit in Spokane Valley and that is where six deputies fired. Zillmer had several guns in his possession and was also wearing a bulletproof vest.

Zillmer was awarded a purple heart following his time served in Afghanistan. The lawsuit alleged that the Army denied the benefits simply because the practicing medical professional didn't check the appropriate boxes indicating the struggles he was experiencing. A federal judge ultimately upheld the Army's decision to not extend the benefits to Zillmer and others.

So it begins. We are just a few short days away from the 2017 solar eclipse. T-minus 3 days, to be exact. The anticipation for the eclipse may actually *eclipse* the actual event with traffic jams and fuel shortages. Traffic to the path of totality has become a total fiasco. The Oregon Department of Transportation says it might be the most traffic the state has ever seen. So what better way to pass the time while you wait for traffic to dissipate? Take a selfie, o...

SPOKANE, Wash. - As we all know, solar eclipses have been going on since the beginning of time. Naturally, some myths formed to make sense of some things that may have happened. But NASA wants to correct these misconceptions using science. The first myth is that "if you're pregnant, you shouldn't watch the eclipse because it could harm your baby." NASA says there's no truth to that. This is related to the idea that there is harmful radiation emitted during an eclipse.
